Introduction to GlobalPhillyTM 2015 The second iteration of a global expo designed to show the global impact of Philadelphia and the region.

These are exceptional times for Philadelphia and its evolution. An increasingly defined presence on the world stage is a part of the city’s current story.

The Global Philly Passport leads you to over 150 events* presented by the members of the Global Philadelphia Association. With something to suit all, the events are identified by 12 categories (details page 5). In addition we feature “Global Events” happening overseas and emanating from Philadelphia; Nation Days showing countries active in the region; and Family-friendly events for all the family. You will also begin to learn a little about the evolution of Philadelphia towards possibly becoming a World Heritage City.

Enjoy these opportunities carefully curated for you by Global Philadelphia and its members. Keep this passport with you as a guide to what is on in Philly in the Fall of 2015. Most of all enjoy the global offerings in PHL. Best Wishes,

Zabeth Teelucksing
